Notes About The Poem

P.O.T.D, and first place in Contest of Chantelle Anne Cooke

Enraptured By Blue SeaPremiere Contest Winner

Enraptured by blue Sea, Sun chose a place above Sea, on a cliff. To touch her face, Sun then sank low; final radiance fell, a lover's fingers on her mighty swell, with passion's touch her cobalt blue to trace. A last caress. . . and then with quickened pace arrived dark night with sable and black lace to softly drape the one he loves so well. . . enraptured by the sea. A man went to that cliff and pled for grace, for he had come with heart ache to erase. The sea, grown icy cold, still cast her spell. He knew that only she all pain could quell. Like Sun did too, he fell to her embrace enraptured by the sea April 21, 2022 Submitted June 12, 2022 for Mark Toney's 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 1 Poetry Contest

The poem is written marvelously and the rhyme and rhythm are superb indeed. Does the man commit suicide at last or mentally he embraces the beauty of the sea? Here only I have a confusion, but I must applaud the wonderful way of penning a poem!
